Chapter 058: Appointment
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and when you leave the farm, the sky is still full of color, and after driving for a while to meet the sunset, night has quietly fallen.
Light and shadow flow, and cars sped away.
The streetlights on the side of the road can't wait to turn on one after another.
After a tiring day, I didn't sleep well last night, the good performance of the off-road vehicle, coupled with Jiawen's excellent driving skills, made Siyan comfortably curl up and huddle on the soft cushions and fall into a sweet sleep.
Jiawen held the steering wheel, his body was actually tired, but his spirit was very high.
Siyan was in his car, sleeping beside him, and the feeling made him so satisfied.
He changed a light serenade, turned down the volume of the stereo, and hoped in his heart that this was a journey that would never end. He could carry her until the earth was desolate.
He smiled happily and peeked at her from time to time.
A tuft of broken hair fell down her forehead and hung down to the bridge of her nose, and she seemed very uncomfortable, frowning at the tip of her delicate eyebrows.
Jiawen didn't think about it, and reached out to her ear for her.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyebrows frowned slightly, her red lips pursed coquettishly, and she muttered in a low voice: "Zheng Jiawen, you are so annoying!"
His face was flushed, as if he had been caught doing something bad, and his hand stopped in the air awkwardly.
Si Yan adjusted his sitting posture and leaned on his shoulder.
He blinked, and then he realized that she was talking in her sleep, and it was easy to resist the urge to burst into laughter.
God, she's so cute!
But she had him in her dreams!
Realizing this, the blood all over his body rushed to his head.
God knows how much willpower it took him to keep himself from taking her into his arms.
He wanted to hug her soft body, kiss her sweet lips passionately, kiss her whole body hot, kiss her forget everything, kiss her slump under him......
However, Si Yan was different from the enthusiastic and unrestrained girls he had known in the past.
She's conservative, she's shy, she's pure...... She has it all in one.
The most important thing is that the person she likes is not him!
He didn't want to frighten her, and he didn't want her to feel like her head was full of rotten thoughts.
It took her a long time to get rid of her bad impression of him and trust him, how could he transform into a wolf and destroy his already fragile image in her mind?
Well, Zheng Jiawen, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.
For the sake of long-term wife hunting plans, patience is necessary.
Wait a minute, chasing a wife?
When he realized that this unfamiliar word actually appeared in his mind, Jiawen was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.
When? Since when has this quiet and gentle girl around him broken into the depths of his heart?
In the world, I have seen too many lovers divide and merge, and I am used to seeing casual gender relations.
In fact, the girlfriends around him are basically here for his status, wealth and appearance, and how many of them abandon their external conditions and sincerely like each other?
After changing too many girlfriends, his attitude towards marriage has changed from dispensable to very resistant.
He never knew that there was a girl like Si Yan in his life, who could silently pay for ten years for a hopeless relationship!
Her purity, her truth, her stupidity, her tears, her sadness, her smile, unconsciously shook him and provoked the softest string in his heart.
There has never been a moment, and no one has ever made him have such a strong desire to protect.
He sincerely hoped that she could bloom her brightest smile under his wing.
"You said that parting is easy and goodbye is difficult, I say goodbye is easy to part, and it is difficult to part......" The sharp ringtone of the mobile phone seemed to be harsh in the quiet carriage.
Jiawen cursed in a low voice, and was about to go to grab her satchel, but Si Yan had been awakened, and opened his eyes and looked at him blankly: "What's the matter?"
"Telephone, looking for you. Gavin sat back and pouted.
"Oh, okay. Si Yan rubbed his eyes, only then did he realize that he was still leaning on his shoulder, his face was crimson, and he sat up straight. Thinking of the satchel in the back seat again, he hurriedly turned around and dragged it in his hand. But the more anxious I was, the more I made mistakes, and I couldn't find the phone when I touched it left and right. In a hurry, she simply opened the zipper and poured out the contents with a bang.
Jiawen saw that she was so nervous that she was in a hurry, and he didn't feel it: "Don't worry, if you can't do it, you can dial it again." ”
Si Yan had already found his mobile phone and put it to his ear: "Hey?"
"Yan Yan, what are you doing, why did it take so long to answer the phone?" Zhu Xiuqin asked unhappily.
"Is there something wrong?" asked Si Yan as he turned to the side and lowered his voice.
"Your colleague came to look for you and waited for more than half an hour. Zhu Xiuqin frowned: "Where did you go?"
"Colleague??"
"It seems to be surnamed Lin?" Zhu Xiuqin's voice was raised a few degrees, and the meaning of inquiry was very strong.
Yan Yan shouldn't have hidden that she had a boyfriend, right?
Zhou Haolin's embarrassing explanation came clearly from the microphone: "Auntie, my surname is Zhou, Zhou Haolin." ”
"Oh, no, he said his surname was Zhou. Zhu Xiuqin added.
looks quite handsome, but he is also in the magazine, so he shouldn't have much future.
"Haolin, what is he doing here?" Si Yan was surprised.
Haolin: It's quite affectionate.
What is he doing at Siyan's house so late?
Jiawen raised his eyebrows and subconsciously glanced at Si Yan.
"I don't know if it's for what interview or what. ”
"Mom, you change his phone. Si Yan sighed.
"Yan Yan asked you to listen to the phone. Zhu Xiuqin handed him the phone, sat on the opposite side of the sofa, and stared at him fiercely.
"Thank you. Zhou Haolin apologized and took the microphone: "Si Yan, didn't bother you, did you?"
"It's okay," Si Yan blushed, turning sideways to avoid Jiawen's inquiring gaze, "I'm on my way home, is there anything wrong with you?"
"Really, let's meet and talk. Zhou Haolin's heart jumped.
"Meet and talk, I probably have ......" Speaking of this, she pressed the microphone and looked out of the car window, it was dark outside, and she didn't know where she went, so she had to turn her eyes to Jiawen for help.
"An hour," Jiawen did not change his face, and lightly added a proviso: "If the car does not break down." ”
Want to talk to Si Yan in person? Yes, just wait slowly.
"I'm sorry, it's about an hour before I get home, can you wait?" Si Yan was a little apologetic.
"One hour?" Haolin raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, the hour hand pointed to nine o'clock, and he had to say regretfully: "Forget it, I'll come back tomorrow." ”
Where did she go? It took an hour to get home?
"What the hell can't be said now?"
"It's nothing, it's just an interview with Mr. Zheng of Anshun, and the editor-in-chief wants me to urge it. Zhou Haolin explained lightly.
He wanted to take this opportunity to visit, but he didn't expect to pounce.
"I'll try to get out tonight. ”
"Well, be careful on the road. Zhou Haolin politely handed the phone back to Zhu Xiuqin.
"I will, thank you. ”
"Yan Yan, where have you been?" Zhu Xiuqin had been replaced on the other end of the phone.
During this time, Siyan began to return late, and his mood was also unstable, which was really unreassuring.
"Mom, I'm with a friend. Si Yan wanted to talk about work, but after thinking about it, Zhou Haolin was next to him, and he would definitely be more concerned when he heard it, and when he asked about it, he wanted to explain again, so he simply said a word.
"Friend, which friend?" asked Zhu Xiuqin with a frown.
Si Yan is introverted, he doesn't have many friends, and there are only a few people who can talk to him.
"New acquaintances, ordinary friends, you don't need to know. She said casually, in exchange for Jiawen frowning.
Little girl, you actually belittled him to dispensability in front of him?
Is he really dead?
"Male or female?" Where is Zhu Xiuqin willing to give up?
"Uh, man. Si Yan was not good at lying, and replied in a low voice with a red face.
"Man?" Zhu Xiuqin immediately sharpened her voice: "Who, which unit, how old, how old, how tall, is there a ......?"
Zhou Haolin sat opposite, his heart also chuckled, and he pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.
"Mom~" Si Yan was a little embarrassed and glanced at Jiawen uneasily.
"Hurry up and say~"
Gavin grinned, waiting to hear how she described herself.
Si Yan lowered his head with a flushed face, and lowered his voice to a low voice: "I am in my forties, I have a wife and children!"
Gavin smiled.
He's so unsightly?
Actually said to be in his forties, with a wife and children?
"More than forty?" Zhu Xiuqin's face was full of shock: "It's so late, why are you messing with this kind of person?"
"Mom~ they just dropped me off the way!"
"You'll be back right away!" Zhu Xiuqin hung up the phone, only to notice that Zhou Haolin was still sitting opposite.
She paused, and reluctantly smiled: "Look, Yan Yan still has an hour to return, are you~"
"Auntie, excuse me, I'll come back another day. Zhou Haolin immediately got up and said goodbye.
"Oh. Si Yan obediently agreed and closed the line.
"Do I look in my forties?" said Gavin, his face choking.
"Well, if you don't say that, my mom will be endless. Si Yan explained with an embarrassed face.
Perhaps, if she finds out that he has good conditions, she will force her to get close to Jiawen, and then force her to get married, which will be a nightmare for her.
Jiawen pursed his lips: "Don't take it as an example." ”
In fact, he is in excellent condition and is not afraid of her endlessly.
"Hmm. Siyan lowered his head and silently put the things scattered on his knees back into his satchel.
Gavin smiled and whistled easily.
Half an hour later, the car stopped downstairs in Xinkang Garden.
"Thank you and goodbye. Si Yan carried his satchel and said goodbye to Jiawen: "I'll rush out the article tonight, and send it to your mailbox tomorrow, please give me an opinion after reading it, okay?"
"In such a hurry?" said Gavin frowned.
Looking at her appearance, she seems to be very tired, will she be too tired to rush the manuscript again?
"I have to send the manuscript on Monday, and I have to hand it in for typesetting and proofreading, and it will be too late. Siyan patiently explained.
I don't want to think about it, who is it all thanks to?
"If it's over, how can you thank me?" said Gavin looked at her with a smile.
"Guys?" she promoted for him, and asked her to have a treat?
"Or, please?" said Gavin.
Look, he's very negotiable.
It doesn't matter who treats her, the most important thing is to take every opportunity to spend time with her, isn't it?
I remember that he had asked her many times.
Even if he has money and doesn't care, she cares.
She doesn't like to owe favors, but since she met him, whether intentionally or unintentionally, willing or unwilling, she seems to have been indebted to him.
This made her very uncomfortable and comfortable.
"Why don't I invite you to tea?" Si Yan thought for a moment and reluctantly promised.
"Okay, tomorrow morning?" said Gavin struck the snake with the stick.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, is there?"
"Not to discuss the manuscript?" he said, relaxed.
See, he has a valid reason!
"Well, I thought it would be nice to discuss it by e-mail. Siyan was stunned.
Do you need two people to sit together solemnly and discuss carefully?
It's not a long book.
"How does e-mail work? There are a lot of details to be finalized, and there is a lot of data that I haven't had time to provide to you today. Jiawen put on a critical face: "You don't like to be dismissed by me again and again, do you?"
"Well, can you send me an email when you get back?" Si Yan asked politely.
"Tonight?" Jiawen raised his watch to look at the time, and looked at her with a smile: "I'm sorry, the evening is my personal time, and I don't like office work." ”
"Uh~" Siyan said.
Tomorrow seems to be Sunday, and the two of them use their morning tea time to discuss the manuscript, doesn't it take up their personal time?
"Then it's decided, I'll decide the time and place, and I'll call you then, OK?"
"Well, as you please. Si Yan reluctantly agreed.
The client is God, what right does she have to say no?
"Do you want me to pick you up?" said Gavin, his eyes slightly crooked, and he smiled like a fox.
And there is no trace of A to the power of a morning call.
When he thought of her lazy and delicate voice when she first woke up, his heart was crawling with worms, itching and uncomfortable.
"That," Si Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally objected: "Can the call be made later?"
She rushed to the manuscript tonight, I don't know what time to go to bed, it's too early, I'm afraid I won't get up.
"OK, what's the problem then?" Jiawen nodded like garlic: "What time do you say, is it okay at ten o'clock?"
It's good to be later, you can have lunch together after drinking tea, hey!
"Well, almost. Siyan nodded.
"OK, bye-bye. Cheered up, he whistled, stepped on the gas and walked away.
"Good night. Si Yan stepped into the elevator room with his bag on his back.
Strange, is it funny to wake up at ten?
Why did he keep laughing, laughing so much that her heart was numb.
